On May 15, the Sumner Association of Neighbors (SAN) held our annual yard debris cleanup. Neighbors brought scrap metal, yard debris, furniture, and lots of other non-toxic stuff — enough to fill seven dumpsters full: One metal, one yard waste, and five assorted junk.
We had a group of young men that SAN chair Eugene Muir recruited to help out and, I (Scott the vice chair) for one am very grateful for their help. We also had a variety of Sumner neighbors help out, and we want to extend thanks to them also.
Ronda (our secretary and treasurer) has been vacation, but I will update this post with names & a profit/loss figure when I get those details.
We had several people tell us they didn’t hear about the cleanup via newsletter, though we did send postcards to our (limited) list of neighbors. It’s true we don’t have full coverage for the quarterly newsletter, which is delivered by hand door-to-door, and volunteers are needed.
If you missed our cleanup, but you have stuff to dispose of, I found notice that the Woodlawn neighborhood — in close-in NE Portland — is holding their cleanup tomorrow, May 29. I have a few items to dump, so maybe I’ll see you there.
A final reminder: Tomorrow — Saturday May 29 — is also our monthly litter patrol. Come join us at 10AM for an hour or two of beautifying the neighborhood. We meet at the side door of the fire station at 4415 NE 87th Ave.
